30 min
24 servings
Some gluten-free recipes call for xanthan gum (fermented glucose) or guar gum (made from guar beans) as they have thickening properties that are required in the absence of gluten.
Ingredients
- 1 3⁄4 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp chai spice or cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1⁄2 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
- Combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and chai spice in a bowl.
- Beat butter until light and fluffy. Sift in icing sugar and beat again.
- Add flour mixture and combine. Add vanilla extract and mix until dough comes together.
- Spoon approximately 1 tbsp of cookie dough onto a Sheet Pan lined with a Sheet Pan Liner leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until bottoms brown lightly. Once slightly cooled, gently move them to a cooling rack.
